Grey Palace

If only we heard the sound before it was too late,
Of the curtains being drawn against the rod behind us.
As we waited together to face our fates,
The shadows were gaining speed to cover our earlier happiness.

The darkness was encompassing the world we knew,
Drawing to a close the person that we had grown to be.
The lack of light the world was becoming was restricting every breath we drew,
Making sparks flicker in view of all that we see.

We like to think we'll make it through this spell,
But what happens when we're proved wrong at every twist and turn?
Will we ever get out of this cruel and lonely cell,
Or shall we forever be stuck in the spiral of hate that always leaves us with a burn?

After having picked ourselves up from falling many a time,
It's finally the right moment to leave this chapter and start the next one.
You shouldn't feel as if moving on is a crime,
You deserve to believe that you have the right to say you have finally won.

The darkness will fade into a grey that you can tolerate,
The colors of the world have bled away because we don't need them anymore.
Whether or not you are happy you no longer have to debate,
We have moved on together and made a world where we can finally have a solid score.

The world is ours to mold,
And we will take our time to build a palace to be proud of for years on end.
Instead of being built in silver or gold,
Our palace will be built of good memories and passions to which we will softly tend.
